Clive Watson, Solutions Director at Quorum Cyber, sums up his experience at GISEC.  

I’ve just returned from GISEC, the largest cyber security conference in the Middle East and Africa, where my colleague Khaled Chalia and we spent three days  meeting as many people as possible to discuss their cyber security challenges and goals.  

GISEC has been held in Dubai for 14 years and Khaled has attended them all, however, for me it was my first time. We were excited to attend as exhibitors on the Microsoft stand, with own Quorum Cyber pod. There were 25,000 people from 160 countries at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 6th to 8th May, so we were incredibly busy. 

As a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (you can learn more about this in my blog), I was also fortunate to have a speaking slot on the Xlabs stage at the start of day three, where in 15 minutes I covered the topic, Rising Above the Crowd: What Sets Elite Microsoft Partners Like Quorum Cyber Apart?  

A recurring theme among the many discussions we had during the three days of GISEC was customers wishing to squeeze more out of their investment in Microsoft cyber security products and licences – Quorum Cyber’s core competencies.   

Customers repeatedly expressed their need to show the best return on their Microsoft investments to their management teams, and they often struggle to find suitable, skilled, and capable partners who they can trust to join them on this critical journey to adequately secure their IT estates.  

As a Microsoft Solution Partner for Security and the Microsoft Security MSSP of the Year, we bring value, innovation, and trust to our customers.     

Quorum Cyber in the Middle East 

We established a presence in the Middle East, based out of Dubai, in 2023 to service the burgeoning Microsoft cyber security market. We offer all customers who have taken a decision to standardise on Microsoft’s security stack, our long-time experience of deploying, configuring, enhancing, and optimising the Microsoft stack for hundreds of customers worldwide over our almost 10 years of operations. These capabilities are unmatched in the region – no regional Microsoft-only managed security services provider (MSSP) comes close to those capabilities. 

And we’re just getting started in the Middle East. We’re planning to expand regionally as more customers shift from multiple-point solutions to the Microsoft Security stack, optimising their spend and increasing the return on investment (ROI) for their security investments.
